Darrell Westika, Fetish, Buffalo, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 4"

This Zuni hand-carved Buffalo Fetish by Darrell Westika is sculpted from rich red pipestone, its velvety matte finish enhancing the warmth and depth of the natural stone. The buffalo’s powerful, lowered stance conveys strength, endurance, and abundance; qualities long associated with this sacred animal in Pueblo tradition. A single Sleeping Beauty Turquoise eye provides a vivid focal point, while a carefully tied bundle of Kingman Turquoise and Coral beads rests along its back. The striking blue and red accents create a beautiful contrast against the earthy pipestone body. Thoughtfully carved and balanced, this piece honors the spirit of the buffalo and reflects the enduring craftsmanship of Zuni carving artistry.
